Video :: Letterpress
A beautifully shot instructional video for letterpress by Naomie Ross. Sorry for the overload on letterpress at the moment, I may have gone a bit bonkers about it.
Video :: Handmade & Bound
Here is a lovely little video from the Handmade & Bound, book-art and zine fayre. Shot by James Devereaux-Ward.
Video :: Letterpress Coasters
The cinematography in the video is awesome. It’s from 2009 but hey, the letterpress process is far older. It makes me want a nice whiskey.
Video :: Typeface
In rural Wisconsin, a lone employee waits in a cavernous old museum for visitors to come. A few individuals straggle in every few days and then, come Friday, the museum fills with life. Machines hum, presses print, artists buzz about. One weekend each month, the quiet of Two Rivers is interrupted as carloads of artisans drive in from across the Midwest. The place comes alive as printmaking workshops led by, and filled with, some of the nation’s top design talent descend on the sleepy enclave.

Hermit Editions :: The Linocut Project
Linocut is one of the simplest forms of relief printing. The process starts by cutting a design into a flat sheet of linoleum, using a knife or a chisel to carve a reverse image. The lino design is then rollered with ink and printed onto paper using a press or a bit of straightforward elbow grease! To celebrate this lo-fi, high impact medium Hermit Editions invited a group of artists to challenge their signature styles, dispense with their macbooks and tablets and get their fingers dirty with the Linocut Project.

12 Prints Exhibition and Book Launch :: Print Club London
Print Club London print and publish silk screen prints by some of the UK’s most exciting illustrative talent! This festive season Print Club London are pleased to present their new exhibition “12 Prints”. As always it was an open submission to allow the artists to showcase their own personal style and point of view. The response was amazing. The key to the show they believe, is aligning some really established illustrators, street artists and designers alongside those fresh out of art school creating an equal platform. Their aim is to bring affordable art prints to a wider demographic and encouraging buyers to invest in original artwork.
